I've just found your blog and have read...Hi Kay<br />I've just found your blog and have read your 2015 posts - your husband's "symptoms" sound so much like my dad's. He was sleeping and napping all the time, saving every newspaper and catalogue, "reading" the newspaper all day. My mum is a young 73 & couldn't cope and would get impatient with him, in the end she moved him into care. By that stage he didn't know who we were and only knew her sometimes - he progressed fairly rapidly but has now stabilized but is really just a shell of the man he was. <br />Please take heart, I admire your patience and commitment to your husband so much - you are entitled to worry and get frustrated and wish things were different - esp when they aren't going to get better, but good on you for persevering & please find those couple of days for yourself - send him to that lovely care facility and have a break and some head space. He really won't mind once he's used to it and it will prolong the time before you need to do something more permanent. All my best wishes & I'll be following your journey and wishing you well.Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690487252264900206.post-89551978303269607522015-01-02T08:04:29.091-08:002015-01-02T08:04:29.091-08:00But it's the. 3 to 4 hour nap on top of the 12...But it's the. 3 to 4 hour nap on top of the 12 hours that concerns me.picklesandroses.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07656580922367962385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690487252264900206.post-49689013783710093052015-01-02T07:50:31.988-08:002015-01-02T07:50:31.988-08:00Great photo of the two of you!

I'm so glad you have the move behind you! THAT was major! And your surgery! Woo hoo..........2015 should be a good YEAR. John is FINALLY divorced and is moving into an unfurnished 4 bedroom house for $240USD a month. Now all we need to do is find beds, a fridge and a few other pieces of furniture to make it liveable. He has the children four days a week now.........little by little. Big HUGS, miss you often.Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.com
